Native to North America, these moths are widely distributed across the continent, from Canada to Mexico. Named after Polyphemus, a Cyclops in Greek mythology, the species is recognized for its distinctive eye-like markings on its wings, contributing to its unique and recognizable appearance. The Polyphemus Moth is one of the largest moths in North America, with wingspans ranging from 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 centimeters).
